1.3.4

✨Fixes and Enhancements

Alpine Support

Version 1.3.4 brings about better apk support for Alpine OS

Auto-enrollment API

In Integration settings you can now create a single command (like a master command) which does not require that you add the host first. This is useful for embedding inside ansible deployment scripts or other use-cases where you have quite a few hosts to add.

NOTE: Proxmox api endpoint has changed:

It now goes like this:

curl -s "https://patchmon-url/api/v1/auto-enrollment/script?type=proxmox-lxc&token_key=KEY&token_secret=SECRET" | bash

Notice that at the end of the auto-enrollment we have a new endpoint called script , which then specifies the script type such as proxmox-lxc

Uninstallation command updated and script to remove the instance totally (with the ability to optionally remove backups of agents etc)

Reboot Needed flag

The server now gives a tag and notification if a host needs rebooting due to the kernel version mismatching when installed kernel differs from the running kernel. There is also a new dashboard card that shows this qty in the hosts table.

Other improvements

  • Now uses POSIX compatible installation scripts
  • Does not use /bin/bash , now we use /bin/sh
  • Added robots.txt to discourage search engines from discovering a public facing version of PatchMon

Upgrading note / instructions

Some members are reporting a upgrade Loop on their systems, please stop the patchmon-agent and start it again

systemctl stop patchmon-agent && systemctl start patchmon-agent after the upgrade. The issue is that the built-in restart function after downloading the binary isn't loading the new binary files so it's using what's loading in cache/memory.

In the newer versions we have introduced a helper-script
